Authorities said two deputies were checking a property near the store, located at 1483 Charlotte Highway, when they received the call for the robbery around 9:17 p.m. Officials said the Sheriff’s Office posted pictures from the robbery on its Facebook page and received a tip about the woman’s identity.

Within an hour of receiving the information, officials said, an investigator and a deputy found Medlin and her car at a laundromat on Arch Street and arrested her.
